Upset and disappointed, product is very bad!

First of all, you need to think about why a portable speaker is needed and what scenarios for its use can be. If you take it for the home - there are a lot of speakers, bars, etc. that will not leave a single chance for this device. If you take for gatherings, outdoor music, parties, then the column is not about that. Then what is its meaning? To have large dimensions of the same HK, to have a lot of weight, but at the same time play just in a different style compared to 41. I would give two, two and a half times more for a really loud and good sound in SONY design.

Pros

Beautiful and aggressive design. Compared to the XB-41, this speaker does not boom at low volumes. That is, if you listen to something at low / medium volume, it will sound distinct and understandable. The voice will not be lost in the bass, as it was on the previous version, therefore, I think that this speaker will be somewhat better for movies and YouTube. Type-C. The build quality feels a little better, in any case, the back cover now closes more tightly. The new SONY SLEEP WELL technology will not give cause for concern to the neighbors - no one will hear you anyway. Great sound for a bathroom, or a cozy 3x5 kitchen.

Cons

Very disappointed with the purchase. I am not an audiophile, but a beautiful sound that is strikingly different from most sources is not difficult to determine. When I first heard the XB-41, I realized that it would most likely not be possible to find anything from portable compact solutions with an acceptable design and similar sound. Very tight sound, good bass, juicy! The volume was even with a margin. I was very pleased with the column! The only thing is that it hummed at a low volume, which was not very upsetting. But! This column really played for its size! After such an experience, I did not want to miss the ate, and 43 was purchased without prior listening, in advance for SONY, so to speak. I thought maybe the drivers need to be ated, or the volume on the speaker itself should be increased, or in the application . In general, this is some kind of tin. There is no desire to turn it on anymore) Yes, the sound at the lows is quite clear. And that's all. This is where the advantages of this device end. Three people with me listened to her, and all as one: "When you look at her, it seems that the membranes will tear now. But the sound, of course, is about nothing." I turned on HK GO PLAY nearby, which weighs the same, costs less, but has an unacceptable design in the form of an iron for me. It is better to buy an iron, and believe me, the sound quality, volume (!), depth, bass, differ VERY STRONGLY! You can’t even compare them by sound, after that you don’t want to listen to SONY at all. OK. I thought, maybe it seems to me, or I expected too much from her. I took JBL Flip 4. This is ridiculous) They sound about the same in terms of volume. Yes, the quality, yes, the depth is better, but the volume is almost the same). This column DOES NOT PLAY for its size and weight, and I categorically do not recommend ating from 41. By the way, at maximum volume, she still manages to wheeze. I advise you to put HK and XB-43 side by side and turn on SHAHMEN - MARK (EMR3YGUL Remix). I will sell as soon as possible, unfortunately. I think everyone knows about the application.
